As a young boy I got the creeps really bad by Ginsberg whenever I saw him. I didn’t know why until years later, when I learned what a chicken hawk boy chaser was. I never liked any of the few things I read by him, it was just the rantings of a speed freak, and seemed forced. Joe said he found Ginsberg insincere, and I concur. I found this item just now while looking into Ginsberg on Beat Bios while listening to this broadcast: Ginsberg was also obsessed with sex as a child. He became aware of his sexual feelings around the age of seven. Allen shared a bed with his brother, who often had to forcibly push him away, and was also prone to rubbing up against his father’s leg from time to time. He developed many crushes on his boyhoodfriends. He was also an exhibitionist, exposing himself to passing traffic on his porch. As an adolescent, he constantly wondered whether or not he was a homosexual.

Wow. I did not know Ginsberg wrote about pederasty in his poems. But I’ve never read any of his work, so I wouldn’t know. Thanks, Hans, for reading some excerpts. I wonder how many “beatniks” took pederasty to heart?

I did manage to get through the entirety of Burrough’s “Naked Lunch” — one grotesque book — which does feature pederasty in one or two places. It’s a book I’d rather forget I ever read. Although I will say, Burrough’s open letter to the medical establishment to find a cure for heroin addiction published at the back of the book struck me as sincere and passionate. Burrough’s struggled with heroin addiction, and I don’t know if he was ever successful in overcoming it. There has been some scientific research in N Acetyl Cysteine that might be helpful in lessening the hold of certain addictions.

It seems to me this hideous agenda of the counter culture is to genocide the population. Human beings can take only so much pressure before they become totally dysfunctional and self-destruct.

I know Ginsberg was also associated with Abbie Hoffman and the SDS which staged violent anti-Vietnam protests against the government. I don’t know if figures such as Ginsberg ended up wealthy, but it amazes me how someone as psychotic as Ginsberg was paid handsomely in media attention and limelight for his putrid work.
